This is a very in-depth basic tutorial about Sanda aka Sanshou. Sanda is the premier combat sport of Chinese martial arts. It was created in 1979 and continues to evolve. In this video tutorial likely from the late 80s or early 90s, we have many of the fundamental strikes and throws of Sanda explained and demonstrated, along with some of the common beginner errors illustrated. This tutorial is super old school but amazing to analyze. In this Fight Commentary Breakdowns in-depth, we go through the entire tutorial and explain its elements. We have stances and footwork, punches, kicks, throws, takedowns, combos, and blocks and breakfalls. This is probably one of the most in-depth martial arts videos we have ever done, and we learned so much from doing this analysis. If you want to more of these, please consider sharing this video and joining as a channel member. This analysis took a lot of work and analysis and translation. Also, please go check out the people who helped contribute to the analysis and the outro! Have you guys ever practiced kungfu or 散打?

Hey Jerry, in Wing Chun we usually keep 70% weight on the back leg. by shifting our weight to the back we can be faster when keeping our aggressor (with low kick) on our desired range to seek for bridges and accentuate our turning for angling off.

@FightCommentary 3 года назад

@gabriellavergne9462 3 года назад

@@FightCommentary Yeah sure but I dont know how we can do that, sounds fun thought. For the moment, watch that video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HuKp0G_tLKA.html. It is explaining the defensive leg kick or knee kick from wing chun and all of it intentions and variations. Notice that Wing Chun is a counter/striking base type system where the aggressor as to attack to expose a bridging opportunity. But everyone know that: you have a plan until you get clip! Now, if we stick to Fundamental principals, the video doesn't explain the wing chun stance because it is more oriented on the Combat sport and the kick. What you have to know is that stance is designed to work in conjonction with the showned leg kick and other self defense boring principals like covering and distancing your crouch from the aggressor attack ( shoving your center of mass 70% back on you leg). Also the purpose is by putting our weight to the back we preparing the entry of our bridge like a spring-loaded projectile. Hope I have made myself precise and clear because it is all about what Wing Chun infer : precison and clear as water.

39:10 a good way to sweep is imagining that your opponent is standing in the center of a room and you want to push/pull his upper body to one corner of the room and sweep the leg to the opposite corner... this works with both front and back sweeps

@PepperBeefSoSpicy 3 года назад

I think spin low sweeps aren't commonly seen in Sanda competition (From I have seen) because rules often forbid any contact with the ground that isn't your feet. And for the low spin sweep kick you have to put your hands on the ground for balance, not to mention its really easy to mess it up and get your knee to contact the floor which is gonna give points to the opponent.

@charlesdacosta2446 9 месяцев назад

At 5:4... where center of mass is over or between the feet. If you practice kungfu, it is fluid, meaning it is both. It is relative to what the objective is and what your opponent is doing.

@charlesdacosta2446 9 месяцев назад

13:5..... hooks even what they consider errors, we do and try to perfect, as real techniques. We even hook using the thumb joint as the weapon, so the arm can be much more extended. Again, practice and conditioning is what would make it work. My style is Tibetan white crane. Our basic is long-range sniper and counter-striker. So even using a punch to stop a leg take-down is our way.

@LunaticReason 3 года назад

40/60 stance on the corkscrew punch on the cross and you're not leaning in on it but rather supposed to move in with your entire body. If you are throwing with just your arms then your doing it wrong because the power is supposed to be from your entire body mass. The weight should be pushing/loading on the rear leg(60) as to give you some springing/explosive action.

@xabierpascal7548 3 года назад

In shotokan karate in my gym I dont usually teach to block kicks. For punches its ok but there is to much risk of blocking a kick with an arm. For kicks you usually receive them with your arm close to your core or move out of the way if you have space.

@user-vy2iz8cw8c 3 года назад

The "traditional" equivalent of the jab is the "left straight" (左冲拳), not the "flicking jab" (弹拳), which is actually just a backfist. The modern term for the (long range) hook is actually 摆拳. 勾拳 on its own means uppercut. 平勾拳 means close range hook. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EzfKNAUV8R4.htmlm49s Interestingly, this film from 1989 uses modern punching terminology like 直拳、摆拳, even though later films continued to use traditional CMA terminology. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hyofI-QmTT0.htmlm54s The spinning sweep is only occasionally used in Sanda competition as it's quite risky. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B-Hk2WPenig.htmlm40s I think the main reason why it's even rarer in MMA is that it's difficult to establish a top position once your opponent falls (they often fall partially on top of you). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B-Hk2WPenig.htmlm37s

@elenchus 3 года назад

sweeps-as-strikes aren't that common because they're not very reliable. They can definitely be done, and I used to see ashi barai get landed in karate on occasion, but for a sweep to work, you have to compromise all points of contact (this goes for jiujitsu, too, when you have to make sure they can't post out with an arm), which means that your timing has to be absolutely perfect so that all of their weight is on the leg you're attacking, and then your technique has to be very good. Take o soto gari, for instance. This technique begins by capturing the upper body of the opponent, then forcing them off balance so that their weight is over the leg you're attacking. If you don't execute o soto gari with this preparation, you will take the leg out from under them, after which nothing will happen because they can still stand on one leg. That said, a failed sweep-as-strike kick isn't necessarily useless. Taking a leg out from under them, even if they remain standing, can compromise their balance for a moment and create an opening for a big follow up.

@TheBlidget 3 года назад

I swear to god someone pulled the sweep @ 44:15 off in the UFC and I can't remember who it was. I just remember going oh wow that was the shit!

@elenchus 3 года назад

One thing that always bothers me about videos for sweeps from a caught kick (which are just as effective as you think they are, actually) is that they don't prepare you to get your face destroyed on the way in. If you're up against some striker who has no familiarity with a grappling situation, you might be just fine, but against an MMA fighter, they're going to pound you as you enter their space to execute the sweep. You need to protect yourself as you close that gap. Counterintuitively, out of the thousands of times I've been thrown/swept from caught kicks and single legs, it's 49:07 that's, in my opinion, perhaps the most dangerous. It doesn't look like much, but the fall is very uncontrolled and if you haven't practiced judo extensively you can very easily bounce your head off the ground. You actually need to develop your neck muscles to handle the ukemi for this, or, at least, I did. Depending on the opponents you'll be facing, you may also need to prepare yourself for jiujitsu techniques off of caught kicks. At the lowest level people can pull guard out of a caught kick, but they can also get flying armbars and triangles (see Flick vs. Duren, for instance) if you're not careful.

I'll be moving soon too, so really, everything's changing very quickly. In the unlikely event that anyone besides yourself reads this, I'd like to remind all of the would-be martial artists out there that watch your videos that you've got limited time on earth for your training before life takes over. If you're on the fence about beginning training, start today or tomorrow; if you're already training but not diligently, get diligent. In a few years you may have an extremely stressful, time-consuming career or a wife and kids or a serious injury. Your carefree teens or 20s run out very quickly and pursuing these particular hobbies becomes very difficult for many people, so don't put it off.

@elenchus 3 года назад

I completely agree with throwing = starting the ground fight. Everyone's natural instinct is to hang on for dear life when they're thrown in a real fight and they will usually drag you down on top of them. You should also anticipate that your takedown will put you in a ground situation and use takedowns that start you in a dominant position. For instance, at 47:18 you see an old-fashioned ryo ashi dori from judo, the original double leg takedown. It worked well for scoring points back in the day, but in MMA or in jiujitsu you don't use this version because you'll get immediately pulled into guard. The modern double leg comes from wrestling and it starts you out in side control, so while it's harder to do and requires more strength, it's ultimately better if the fight continues on the ground. Now earlier you see koshi guruma, the one where they wrap their arm behind the neck of the opponent. Koshi guruma is the opposite in that if you follow through, it naturally lands in a rib-destroying kesa gatame, so you get your wind knocked out of you AND you get pinned.

@THEANPHROPY 3 года назад

Bud u do not always corkscrew punches in boxing: depends upon intent; u want to cut the guy, then yes corkscrew, u want to keep them back on their toes, then fast snappy punches, you want to land a knockout straight, then land the punch but let it stay there a split second to fully offload all of the power. This is an art in & of itself as if u want u can also use the latter to spring off & add the elastic recoil to the power of the next punch with that hand!

@andrewvasey1070 2 года назад

I imagine the centered weight thing is important because of takedowns and sweeps. If you put all your weight back, like some Muay Thai and taikwondo people, you are going to get swept. Yo see this often in the sanda trained yi long.

Is it that Sanda includes some striking art that has similar footwork to shotokan karate/taekwondo, or more bladed stance is there in order to defend takedowns and avoid being scored on (by strikes) during the competition?

Actually Sanda is heavily based on Boxing, Muay-Thai and Karate, because the chineses learned in 1979 that they don't have experience on sparring, so they based Sanda in other martial arts and combinated with Shuai Jiao.
